Bay Ridge Manor — Attraction in New York

I attended a pastor's anniversary banquet.

The place is clean. It seems that they can hold two events ... one upstairs and one downstairs. We had the room upstairs. Each area has its own set of bathrooms.

Valet Parking The venue is in a residential neighborhood and they do not have a designated parking lot.

I arrived way too early for my event, it was pouring down raining and the event before mine was letting out. The young men were overwhelmed with trying to get the cars for the departing guests. They didn't have any real organization to how they parked cars. I heard one say to another something like, check on 75th street. I watched them hit the button on many cars to try and determine where it might be. When I asked about parking I was told that they wouldn't be able to assist me anytime soon then I was asked to be patient and wait while they disbursed the leaving guests. I waited, not realizing that I was holding up a FedEx truck which ultimately held up traffic. Fortunately, my wait paid off and a valet was able to park me across the street.

Train/Bus I'm sure there's a bus close, but I don't know which one. As I was leaving, when I approached the light, I noted the R Train Station.

Ginger Ale/Sprite Venues are quick to give you cola and water and I always ask for Ginger Ale. Ginger Ale isn't available but they offer Sprite, upon request.

Staff They're wait staff was full of young people and they were pleasant and did their best to make sure the guests were taken care of.

The real question, would I go back? It's not someplace that I would make an effort to return to. If I had to park my car and walk the long block back to the venue or park on another block, I wouldn't be able to do it. Watching the young men look for cars to return to departing guest didn't bring me comfort.

If the venue is convenient for you, go for it. However, when choosing this place, consider...

Had my prom here, me and my friend had to wait so long for our food because they skipped us and gave food to everyone else, when I confronting the waiter she said we didn’t order or we were standing. But we did ordering and we were sitting down waiting after everyone was done eating they started dancing and that was the time I and my friends gotten our food. We also asked for 2 more cups for my friends since they didn’t have any. The food was bad the pasta tasted like cardboard or dried up play dough. The DJ ignored our request of music, the waitresses had an attitude towards me and my friends. We did not get our cups still. The food haunts me to this day of its disgusting taste. The burger which was an appetizer was to greasy the pasta had such a small amount of flavor, the chicken tenders were so oily the fries were okay the chicken which was an appetizer tasted like it was straight from a Chinese store. I...

We had our beautiful wedding reception at Bay Ridge Manor! The venue was beautiful, staff were friendly and the food was delicious! Everything was organized well. Big thank you to Christina and Christine for assisting us through out the planning process, and Anthony for making sure that the day of the reception was perfect.

I have one remark that could spare someone from being surprised on the day of- we did not love the wedding cake that was included. We were offered a food tasting but not a cake tasting. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the cake. I wish I knew more about the cake way in advance to make better arrangements for a cake I would have loved both visually and in taste. Aside from that one mishap, our entire day and celebration...
